Excerpt from Sub Turri, 1957 The Catholic university represents an idea that is realized not in thestone of. Its buildings, nor the accumulated wis dom contained in its. Libraries, but in the minds of the young men and women who are its children. Their thoughts and deeds give expressions and embodiment to its concept of truth as can no spires or turrets however high they may aspire against a boundlesssky. The university is the students; the students are the uni versity - not as they exist one by one, but as they are unified by the idea that is contained'within them. For a Catholic university is imbued with an organic character alien to mere organizations: its members are motivated by a sameness of principle and act with a sameness of; purpose that is the result of their beliefs and training. The heritage of their uni versity goes beyond the dated charter of a Commonwealth to the beginnings of Catholicism. The teaching of the Church is the faith of its members, and the Spirit of the Church is the spirit of the univer sity.lion And Girou ation of Thought.
